<p>Would it make sense to put a label on PRs that were closed due to inactivity in case someone else wants to pick up the work later? Sometimes work is nearly finished but abandoned for reasons, so it might not be hard to pick up. Could even be useful for beginners.</p>
<p>Otherwise it's not easy to distinguish them from PRs that were closed due to other reasons.</p>

<p>IMO ideally PRs should reference an open issue. As long as that issue remains open, that PR will be linked from the issue, and you can leave a comment on the issue to explicitly note the PR when the PR is closed, in case someone working on the issue wants to pick it back up.</p>

<p>And if a PR doesn't reference an open issue and you want to close it, it might make sense to open an issue to track whatever concern it was trying to address</p>
